Chapter 302 Reward Arrived
When Su Sheng got the news about Xiong Kai, that guy had already left the military camp.
"That bastard got away with it! My uncle was planning to help us punish him, but in the end he just let him get away."
Su Sheng was so angry that he pounded the table.
Before, on the way back to the military camp, Liu Laosan did say that he would help them vent their anger, but Liu Laosan came and went in a hurry, and besides them, the only person in the military camp who had come into contact with Liu Laosan was the marshal.
The marshal escorted Liu Laosan away and had been very busy these days, so they didn't want to disturb him because of such a trivial matter.
Shen Yi said in a deep voice: "I heard that Xiong Kai was bitten by a poisonous insect in the mountains, and half of his face was destroyed. This is God's punishment for him. Such a rotten person will be punished by God, and we don't need to do anything."
Shen Dagou nodded repeatedly, and couldn't help jumping for joy at the thought of returning home. "Brother Shen, how long do you think we have to wait before we can leave? Can we get home before the Spring Festival?"
Everyone reacted and became anxious instantly.
Yes! Why are they fussing over Xiong Kai here? Going back to their hometown to celebrate the New Year is the most important thing!
Shen Yi was unsure.
In the past few days, he kept running to Pan Wanli's tent, asking for news all the time.
He annoyed Pan Wanli and was kicked out, but he didn't get angry and kept getting close to Pan Wanli.
Zhu Yixuan received the message and came over, just in time to see Shen Yi being beaten up by Pan Wanli, with a complicated expression.
"Why don't you stay in the barracks?" Zhu Yixuan asked coldly.
He knew that there was a noble person behind Shen Yi, and that noble person's status was far higher than Cen Yingfan. Now even Cen Yingfan was polite to Shen Yi. As long as he was willing, promotion and wealth were just around the corner.
Chen Yi patted the dust off his body, glanced back at Zhu Yixuan, and smiled, "Why should I stay here? All we want in life is a harmonious and beautiful family and a prosperous life. I have all these, so what do I need those illusory things for? The military camp is good, but who can guarantee long-term victory? I can't afford to lose!"
"No future!" Zhu Yixuan was angry and cursed in a low voice.
Shen Yi was not angry after hearing this, but said meaningfully: "Mr. Zhu has a promising future, I wish you a bright future in advance!"
Zhu Yixuan thought that Shen Yi was laughing at him, and his face darkened instantly, "Shen Yi! I have a clear conscience for everything I have done. With your good words, I will definitely have a bright future, and the Zhu family will be the number one family in Zhaohua County!"
Shen Yi didn't respond and walked away without looking back.
Zhu Yixuan shook his head and walked towards the military doctor's tent with a grim expression.
In the next few days, Shen Yi discovered that Zhu Yixuan often went to see the military doctor, and he couldn't help but feel curious.
Song Yongnian secretly inquired for him and came back with a shocked look on his face. "I vaguely heard the military doctor say something about poison and offspring. Do you think Zhu Yixuan was poisoned?"
"What's going on?" Su Sheng's eyes lit up frighteningly.
Song Yongnian shook his head. "I don't know either. I just eavesdropped a little. I heard that Zhu Yixuan has been very irritable these days. He often loses his temper with his subordinates. He once went to the city to seek medical treatment."
"That's probably true." Su Sheng was delighted, and Elena gloated, "Now let's see how he can climb up the social ladder!"
Shen Yi made a gesture to keep quiet, "These are just our guesses. Don't make a fuss about something you don't know, lest you get into trouble if it gets out. We still have to go home quickly!"
"Yes, yes, yes, go home."
As everyone waited anxiously, the imperial decree finally arrived.
Xiao Minghan brought the generals of higher ranks in the army to receive the order, but the soldiers below the rank of deputy general were not qualified.
The same goes for Zhu Yixuan, but he has Cen Yingfan's protection, so he can listen to the imperial edict together.
After the imperial envoy finished reading the imperial edict, he politely asked Xiao Minghan, "Who is Shen Yi?"
Cen Yingfan and the others were shocked, but Xiao Minghan was very calm and quickly asked someone to find Shen Yi.
Shen Yi entered the tent in full view of everyone and chatted with the imperial envoy.
Zhu Yixuan looked unhappy, but didn't dare to say anything.
Inside the tent.
The imperial envoy looked at Shen Yi and nodded with satisfaction, “This time, thanks to General Shen Xiao, if you hadn’t insisted on saving Mr. Liu, the emperor would not have been able to get the confidential material.”
"Your Excellency, we just happened to meet you. It's just a piece of cake." Shen Yi did not dare to take credit for it.
The imperial envoy looked as if he understood everything. "Mr. Liu said that you are not interested in fame and fortune. I have seen this today. However, His Majesty and we are already aware of everything you have done for Mr. Liu, and you will receive the same reward.
Originally, His Majesty wanted to confer an official title on General Shen Xiao, but Mr. Liu said that you were not interested in this, and His Majesty did not want to force you, so he gave you a thousand taels of gold, a pair of jade ruyi, a dragon-protecting sword, a night-shining pearl, eight pieces of brocade, and a plaque inscribed by His Majesty himself.
The soldiers who are with you also have a copy. Call them over and I will read the imperial edict to them."
Shen Yi was extremely terrified. He stood up, thanked him, and immediately went out to call for help.
Xiao Minghan asked, "Your Excellency, Mr. Liu has made great contributions this time. Your Majesty should reward him handsomely!"
"Of course. Mr. Liu has done so much for Your Majesty. Despite his humble background, he does not lead any troops, but his achievements far surpass those of Marshal Xiao!" the imperial envoy said meaningfully.
Xiao Minghan quickly agreed, "Of course, I also admire Mr. Liu very much."
As they were talking, Shen Yi brought Su Sheng and the others over, the tent curtain was opened, and the imperial envoy read the imperial edict aloud. Zhu Yixuan and others outside naturally heard it.
Cen Yingfan murmured incoherently, "I have led troops in battle for so many years, but I have never received such a generous reward from His Majesty. They all received plaques inscribed by His Majesty himself."
Cen Yingfan would not be jealous of the golden ruyi or something like that, but as for the plaque, only the dignitaries in the entire imperial capital had the opportunity to own it, and small officials like them were not qualified at all.
An imperially bestowed plaque can be passed down from generation to generation, and can also protect the family from generation to generation. Now, Shen Yi, whom he looked down upon, actually has something he dared not even think about. How can he be calm?
Cen Yingfan was already in this state, not to mention Zhu Yixuan. Thinking about how he had just threatened Shen Yi a few days ago that the Zhu family would become the number one family in Zhaohua County, he was severely slapped in the face today.
Even if the Zhu family has more money, what's the use of him climbing higher? Without the plaque bestowed by His Majesty, the Zhu family will always be inferior to them.
Chen Yi and Su Sheng received the imperial edict, and they were all very excited.
The imperial envoy said a few more words of encouragement and let them go.
They were so happy that they didn't notice that Cen Yingfan and the others' faces were almost distorted.
Only Pan Wanli came forward to congratulate them.
Shen Yi took the opportunity to ask, "Deputy General, can we go now?"
Pan Wanli choked and glared at Chen Yi, "You little brat, are you really that eager to go home? Can't you stay a few more days?"
A burst of laughter broke out in the tent.
"If you want to leave, just go. I allow you to leave!" Xiao Minghan's hearty voice spread out.
Chen Yi hurriedly brought his men to express his gratitude, and rushed to his own tent laughing and joking.
